3-line summary

• Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei responded to investor Gavin Baker's argument that Amodei's warnings about AI dangers have fueled backlash against the industry, particularly data centers, according to a Yahoo Finance report.
• Amodei disagreed that his messaging has been 'disproportionately negative' but acknowledged 'the public has a negative view of AI,' saying 'I think it is fundamentally a crisis of trust... ordinary people don't trust companies, governments, or the tech industry.'
• Amodei said the most accurate criticism of AI companies including Anthropic is that 'we haven't yet delivered on our big promises to benefit the world,' and argued Anthropic's policy proposals aim to slow down frontier AI companies while advantaging smaller competitors.
